mcast_if should be working fine in 3.0 since 3.0.5, could you confirm that? now you should be able to force multicast traffic to go through a specific interface if adding mcast_if into the corresponding udp_send_channel setting. it was broken again though in 3.1 and while it was fixed again for 3.1.2 as shown by BUG140 you would need 3.1.7 for a full fix and set of directives that are meant to help control all parts of functionality including also the IP that would be used as the source (which is what bind and bind_hostname are for) independently of the interface or IPv4 routing. > We resolved it by adding a route.
